Hey Gustavo,
I have worked long enough in the field to know there was a time when updating was not something that was normal. If a product worked, it could become better, risking it got worse. I always keep in mind that in worse case the thing being updates will stop working. And with that, I do not update unless I see improvements I need, or I have new hardware that will need a new install of the software that has new updates.
I do not need grblhall, darkmode, new looks, autoconnect, or anything that was added after gsender 1.2.x.
If I would see something I am willing to take the risk of updating and things didnât work after that, I would see it as my own fault. I hĂĄd a workimg machine, I updated, thus it is I who broke it.
I will never update unless there is a backup plan, like going back to the old version. This would mean having a known working install on a secondairy pc or at least access to the old software and a manual that will guide me to mitigate known problems asociated with re-installing a known working version.
Would I be frustrated if I updated and my machine stopped working? You bet ya. I would be frustrated because I clearly didnât do my homework on my backup plan.
Would I direct my anger at the developing team? Only if the update was mandatory, pushed through without notice or if I payed big bucks for the software.
Luckaly sienci is open source and any older version of the software is available on github. Hereâs the 1.4.12.

Hope you are throwing chips around shortly.
